honey, loneliness in bipolarII sucks also. and i have all of the same wishes and desires that you have. i don't drink, so i haven't done the drink and sex thing, but i miss intimacy so much. i have an E.O.B. and B.O.B. that i rely on. that's about all that goes on around here now. broke off with the last one. i wish i had the magic answer for both of us but i don't. i don't have any answers for myself right now, much less another woman.

i admire you so very much for getting sober and taking care of yourself. i know that it hasn't been easy. i'm a substance abuse counselor and there are NO jobs here...nada. you're far enough into your sobriety that a boyfriend wouldn't be a hindrance to staying sober. i've kept up with your writings. xoxoxo pat
